Vanessa POV

Silently, I left the doctor's office after quickly thanking the doc for his time. Mitch and Bonnie stared at each other. To me it looked like he was about to explode while she seemed to be looking for a hole to disappear into.

I didn't care about any of this. I didn't say a word to them and just left. Now I didn't have to have anything more to do with them. And if I was honest, I was relieved. I never had to see him again. He was finally no longer a part of my life.

Instead, I had another task ahead of me. There was a lot going on in my head. After all, I had just learned a lot of information that I had to understand and process.

Slowly, I walked to my car and wondered how so much could have happened in such a short time. I had asked myself this question several times recently. But just like that, another layer appeared on the chaotic cake of my life.

Damian POV

Stupid, stupid, stupid... Was the only thing I could think. A simple overreaction. That's all it had been. And yet my blood boiled just thinking about it.

I was too hot-headed to admit to myself that it would have been best for us if I had just told her straight away. But I had missed that chance. And then I had also broken my promise to always be there. Because when I went to pick her up earlier to explain it to Feliz and then accompany her to the appointment, she was already gone.

With my shoulders slumped, I stood in front of the door. Of course, I immediately heard Pom-Pom barking happily. Well... at least one of the girls was happy that I was here. I was probably in for a punch in the face as soon as Feliz came back.

Minutes turned into hours as I sat on the small staircase waiting for her car to show up. My nerves were on edge. I absently patted the dog on my lap. Finally, she appeared.

"Hi... What... Why do you have Pom?" she asked as she got out of the car.

"Hi Feliz... I... well I used my spare keys because she wouldn't stop whining. Listen...I'm so, so sorry. I know I'm an idiot, but if you have it in you to give me another chance I can explain." I began quickly and stood up.

"Damian-" she said, but I cut her off.

Too much was going through my head and it was important that I was completely honest with her now.

"Please, Feliz! I beg you. Let me start. I want to apologize. I didn't mean to freak out like that. It's just... I just wasn't expecting it and then... well... I don't want us to dissolve this 'marriage'. I know it's not what you wanted, but it's real.

And if I'm honest, it's great for both of us...all three of us actually. Because I'm your husband, that means I'm legally the baby's father. And that means that if, God forbid, something should happen to you, Mitch has no rights to the baby. That he has no rights in general, if he ever wants to claim.

I told you I want to be a father figure to the baby. But actually I want more. I'm more of a father than he'll ever be, DNA or not. When you said you wanted to have it annulled, I panicked.

Already I feel so strongly about you and this baby. Yes, I love you both, the three of you actually. Can't forget Miss Pom. I just know we are a family. I realize that I messed up. I've broken my promises. So I can understand if you-" it bubbled out of me as Feliz slowly approached me.

Then she stretched and simply silenced me with her lips. Pom between us began to fidget and nudge us.

"Just shut up for a second, will you? I need to tell you something too, D." she then said as she looked deep into my eyes.

Then she took Pom-Pom from my arms and quickly took her inside. When she came back, she placed her hands on the sides of my neck, trembling to my surprise. She held my gaze before swallowing.

"The results of the test revealed something no one expected. Mitch is... not the father. Not of her baby and not of mine." she explained to me.

"Wait...what?" I asked as I tried to understand.

"Do you remember the doctor said that the baby is a little smaller than expected? Well that probably has more to do with the fact that it was conceived later than I thought and not with my tension." she said.

"What, you mean... Oh my God!" I gasped as I realized what she was trying to tell me.

"I'm actually going to be a daddy?" I asked, just lifting her off her feet and spinning her around.

"That's the only explanation. So much for 'pretty sure nothing happened' huh?" laughed Feliz.

"God I love you, Feliz. I can't believe it. This is a miracle! I wanted it so much." I whispered in her ear as tears of joy welled up in my eyes.

"I love you too, Damian. You have no idea. But you'd better put me down now." she replied.

I did as she said, but then didn't wait a second to give her a passionate kiss. Those 24 hours were a complete whirlwind, but it was worth it in the end. Who's to say that dreams don't come true or that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...
